U.S. News names CSU to Best Colleges

September 30, 2019

In U.S. News & World Report’s recent rankings of Southeastern colleges, Charleston Southern University earned Best College honors and climbed 31 spots above its spot in the previous year.

Contributing factors to its selection are Charleston Southern’s student-faculty ratio of 12:1, with 62.3 percent of classes listing fewer than 20 students. Students are able to complete degrees at the bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral levels, and the university offers a nationally ranked, dynamic online program in addition to traditional on-campus programs.

The university has added several degree programs to the curriculum in response to regional and national needs. New this fall are:

• a 3 + 2 athletic training program, students can earn a Bachelor of Science in kinesiology and a Master of Athletic Training in just five years;
• the Master of Science in public safety management, offered on campus or online;
• an accelerated Bachelor of Science in nursing;
• the Bachelor of Science in engineering with emphases in computer engineering and electrical engineering;
• a Bachelor of Business Administration in supply chain management and a fully online Bachelor of Science in supply chain management.

Earlier this year, U.S. News & World Report named Charleston Southern #25 in Best Online Bachelor’s Programs and #20 in Best Online Bachelor’s Programs for Veterans in the nation, ranking CSU #1 in South Carolina for online bachelor’s programs.
